Mitt Romney and former heavyweight champ Evander Holyfield will step into the ring to raise money for charity this May.

SHOW TRANSCRIPT

We won't see Mitt Romney battling in a presidential race in 2016, but it looks he will be going up against Evander Holyfield in a boxing ring in the near future.

Yup, Romney will fight the former heavyweight champ at a charity event in Salt Lake City May 15.

The 2012 presidential nominee told The Salt Lake Tribune, "It will either be a very short fight, or I will be knocked unconscious. It won't be much of a fight. We'll both suit up and get in the ring and spar around a little bit."

The event will raise money for CharityVision, a group that provides healthcare to people with vision problems in impoverished areas around the globe.

Romney and his family have been involved with the group for a while now. Last year, they traveled to Peru with the group to help diagnose and treat eye problems.
